Course Overview
Cloud computing has become a central component of modern IT infrastructure. Support professionals must understand how cloud services operate, how users access them, and how to diagnose common issues. This programme introduces the essential cloud concepts required for IT support roles working with cloud-based systems and applications.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, learners explore the foundations of cloud service models including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). The programme explains how identity and access management (IAM), networking basics, and cloud storage operate within cloud platforms used by organisations.
Participants also learn how cloud services are monitored, how access is controlled, and how common issues are identified and resolved. By the end of the course, learners will understand how cloud services function and how to support users and applications operating in cloud environments.
